An incredible movie Read the full article on AICN I read that 3FT BALL & SOULS was a Japanese Science Fiction film – so when I watched a film that was equal parts GROUNDHOG’S DAY and IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE… I was stunned by the beauty the film contained. The film is not yet listed on IMDB and has debuted tonight. But if you’re at FANTASTIC FEST and plan on watching this incredible film – I would recommend skipping the rest of this review. Know that the concept I lay out in that brutal first sentence above – is the movie in a nutshell. It is emotional and revelatory. It handles the pain and angst of suicide in a manner that felt intended to give those battling such thoughts, the best path forward in life. 3FT BALL & SOULS is directed by Yoshio Kato with a sobering and powerful confidence and restraint that belies the subject matter.
